Re: standing kinhin?

Re: standing kinhin?

Hi,

I do not know the specific practice and it is not our tradition, but I do not see why one cannot 'Kinhin' by merely rocking slowly side to side. Sometimes, when walking Kinhin, I move so little with each step, that it is almost that. After all, we are going no where.

Any swaying moving can be hypnotic. I am sure you have seen how Hasidic Jews pray.
